Copying or Printing Alarm-Window

Post by **Mike** » Fri May 16, 2014 6:19 am

E.g. NB 10.7 has the option to send quite a lot of alarms which pop up and are cumbersome to read and cover the chart. So I wonder, if I cannot scroll through the different TFs and copy/past to some text-editor or print the alarm messages of the pop-up window.
Any suggestion or alternative welcome, Mike

Bonjour Philippe, merci. The log does not show alarmtexts, unfortunately. Thanks for the tip anyway, now I know what's in these logfiles, never looked at them before.
Amicalement Michael

Copy the attached script in your Empty4 Scripts folder and attach the script at any chart. Thanks to Xaphod for this script.

EDIT
Sorry, I did re-read your post and this script doesn't print, but only re-opens the alert window.
